Window Mode Fedora 10
Fedora 10 i386
I am trying to get window mode to work but not only can I not select window mode from the GUI (or resolution) and get it to work but only window mode via editing of the ini file will force window mode. Even after setting windowmode=1 I still can not force the resolution. It appears to take over my rootwindow. Regardless of what resolution I set the game at via xres=1024 and yres=768
those settings will not be honored. I run numerous other programs at various resolution from 800x600 up to 1280x1024 (including the likes of WoW) without an issue so I doubt its my setup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can now run window mode but it is still forcing its own res within that window. ie: 1900x1200 desktop 800x600 xresxyres forced in ini file (or any res for that matter) and it still effectively 3250x1200 inside the window regardless of window size. xrandr related perhaps?
I have now tried numerous variants of Modes lines etc in xorg.conf with still no luck.
ie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf within the "Screen" section.
SubSection "Display"
Modes "3520x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Depth 24
EndSubSection

I have also tried using different metamodes with no luck. I very well could be doing this wrong but unsure what at this point. It to me looks like an Xorg/Distro+Xorg issue and not VO. Still if anyone has suggestion please fire them off. Thanks again.
Maybe worth noting:
Running dual head.
1600x1200 left
1920x1200 right
8600gts.
No compviz etc.

The fix was simple. I must have had an error in my syntax when attempting this previously. The key is the metamodes line within the Screen section.
Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: 1920x1200 +1600+0, CRT-1: 1600x1200_60 +0+0; 1600x1200; 1280x1024; 1024x768; 800x600;"
